Babino [baˈbinɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Choroszcz, within Białystok County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1]
On 22 March 1952, in the village, near the Warsaw-Białystok road, the National Military Union (NZW) patrol commanded by Stanisław Franciszek Grabowski ("Wiarus") was ambushed and killed.[2] Stanisław Grabowski was one of the longest fighting soldiers of the anti-communist underground in post-war Poland. During the tearing up of the raid, Grabowski and two other partisans died with weapons in hand.
